 * The article "Put social media to work for you," by Rick Spence describes and proves just how social media websites like Facebook and Twitter has changed the way people communicate in today's society. With the recent popularity in such online websites, it has drastically improved the way people communicate around the world; news and information can be sent instantly in just seconds by just a click of the mouse on a computer. The Internet has evolved into an information hub now, people no longer have to turn on their television, listen to the radio, or read the newspaper for something, all the news can be found online. We have seen many celebrities, and now politicians use such websites as Facebook and Twitter to reach out to their followers. **


 * More and more politicians today are taking advantage of these online sources to reach out to their voters. We have seen President Obama successfully run a campaign with the use of online media back in 2008, and now with Mayor Nenshi of Calgary. By using such sites as Youtube and Twitter, the community will feel connected to the politician, with the ability to follow each and every step that has been taken. Social media websites have allowed people to keep track of anything, and everything with ease. This is the type of society that we live in right now, where people are expecting speed and efficiency in their lives. **
